[QUOTE="Deer Assassin, post: 5306507, member: 11039"] I have no idea what BC has to do with it. Most moose shots arent at long enough distance for it to matter. In fact your 180 partition has a bc of .361 and sd .271 the 160 partiton in 277 has a much better bc of .434 and sd of .298 [SECTIONAL DENSITY A bullet's sectional density also affects the amount of damage it can cause. Sectional density (a bullet's weight in pounds divided by its diameter squared) describes a bullet's length for its diameter: The higher the number, the longer the bullet. Generally speaking, the larger a bullet's sectional density, the deeper it will penetrate. to say the 06 is a better IMO is not necessarily correct and it is not wrong either it depends on bullet every cartridge will kill a deer some better than others but bullet choice on a particular game animal is key and all the people on here there are .308 bullets larger than 220 there are 240 and 245 off the top of my head but a lot of 06 wont have the twist to stabilize the 277 bullet selection does include the rare 170 round nose speer and 180 barnes round nose and now the new nosler 170 bt i would not use the 170 bt the 170 speer has been discontinued in the 70s but i do have 180 of them i dont believe the barnes 180 are around any more either a 160 partition will work fine [/QUOTE]
